Hello Legacy OS 2 users and those with an old Pentium III PC,
Today see the release of Legacy OS 2.1 Gamer.
Please download and enjoy!
If your PC is known to be compatible with Legacy OS 2 and you try Legacy OS 2.1 Gamer can you post back that you had a successful boot up and it works.

Now Over 20,000 Downloads

Other highlights is the update to Opera 12 with excellent HTML5 support for great Web Surfing and the new look for this release and upcoming releases.

While this release focuses mainly on Games, With Apps like Amarok, Abiword and Gnumeric this is still a very usable OS for every day computing.

Not the actual machine I'll be running this on but......... Legacy OS 2.1 live pfix=ram on my main Athlon XP box.Booted and working.
Using Xvesa because of the Nvidia card but everything appears to be working.Running in ram........ cd ejected.
Will try on some more appropriate hardware in a few.

Hello Colonel Panic,
Strange? I can confirm flash works. With ever increasing content and HD being put in web pages and the fact that the 10 series of flashplayer is the last version compatible with Legacy OS 2 series some flash content won't play.
I've never had trouble with Youtube and watch regularly TV shows on a Pentium 4 PC. Testing on my trusty Pentium III shows Youtube with dropped frames but the sound is perfect. Legacy OS 2 is my main OS full time. I live it breath it improve it. LOL!

This is why 2 more releases of Legacy are under development and are planned for release in the coming months.

Is your copy of Legacy 2.1 installed to your hard drive? Mine isn't, and I again tried to get Flash working on my machine and sadly, no go. All I got was a black rectangle instead

I should perhaps add at this point that I'm reluctant to install a distro to my hard drive because Grub install doesn't always work properly, and you can end up (as I have on several occasions in the past) not only not being able to access the distro you've just installed but also the others already on your hard drive,_________________Acer Aspire M1610 (Core 2 Duo, 2.3 GHz), 3 GB of RAM, 320 GB hard drive running OpenSUSE 13.2 Edu-Life, Sparky 4.0 RC1, Neptune 4.3, Absolute 14.11, Korora 21 Mate, Vector 7.1 Light 64-bit, LXLE 14.04.2, Puppy Tahr 6.02 Mate and Puppy Precise 5.7.1 Large.

Hello Colonel Panic,
I've had success using flash with both live and installed. 90% of Legacy OS usage is with the system installed to Hard Drive._________________Legacy OS 2.1 LTS Released! Install me on a new! EXT2 Partition with 500Mb of swap and I'll be happy.
Legacy OS 4 Released! Install to newer legacy hardware / early EeePC's

Hello Colonel Panic,

Hi again John.

I can watch Youtube videos just fine on Legacy OS4 Mini and the last version of OS 2, both live and installed; I could even watch them on Teenpup (before it was renamed Legacy). It's just this one that seems not to be able to play them.

Hello Colonel Panic,
To make way for the games I removed a lot of apps. Nothing was removed that should affect flash and Youtube. If other releases work on the same machine then in all reality Gamer should too. Very strange. _________________Legacy OS 2.1 LTS Released! Install me on a new! EXT2 Partition with 500Mb of swap and I'll be happy.

Been delayed because I forgot about the "too much ram and the installer won't work" thing. Couldn't install.....pulled out some ram down to 256 Mb and then no problem.
First, flash is working here. Youtube videos play ...no problem.Actually everything appears to be working.
